Sometimes, Clouds Aren't So Bad
Making their first pull from the mine, LS&I's 3-Tilden has 61 loads of ore in tow for the dock at Marquette with U30C 3009 leading the charge. The 7-Tilden got held up for a brief period while spotting their 121 empties on their last trip down the hill and as a result delayed the 3-Tilden. After getting permission to depart the mine for the yard at Eagle Mills West, the two venerable GEs give it their all too keep this heavy train moving as they have for the last few decades. Up until the train was here, the sun had ruined this photo. Fortunately, a well timed cloud covered the sun up just enough allowing me to get this final frame of the greens before starting the long trek back home.
